The JWAVE Histogram Tool is a Bean that displays a histogram plot.

This Tool uses a 1D array containing histogram data as input to the PV‑WAVE HISTOGRAM procedure. See Chapter 7: Using JWAVE Beans for information on using this Bean in the BeanBox.

The JWAVE Beans provided by Rogue Wave each have a Customizer for modifying the appearance of the plot produced by the Bean. This section describes the features of the Histogram Tool Customizer.
